RE: Folder Stuck on Temp Window.

A while ago I tried to back up my Windows registry, as it seemed like a
pretty good idea at the moment.
Silly Me!! *{B^{P~
It was over 3 gigs, and there is NO WAY in Chicago that it was going to fit
on my pathetic CD!
So I tried to correct my boneheaded error by deleting the "Windows" folder
(it actually looks more like a "link") from the "ready to be written" window.

After about 10 seconds of deleting, my Compaq Presario goes "GOINK!!!" and
says that it cannot delete the folder because "Access Denied" to a font file
that happens to be in it.
Every time I insert a CD into the drive, the "CD Writing Wizzard" pops up
and wants to write the bloomin' 3 gig folder to whatever I put in there, and
won't let me clean house so as to be able to write anything to CD!

I have since downloaded a couple of freebie CD burners which frankly work a
whole lot better than this "Wizzard" ever did which, if I could only find it,
I would delete / uninstall. Clever thing though; it does not show up in
task manager, and when I run a "search" for it, the search utility shuts down
after running about a minute - I assume as soon as it finds the blasted
thing.

Is "CD Writing Wizzard" a utility of a virus? I'm beginning to wonder.
Reminds me of Norton AV, come to think of it.

Can anyone advise me how to clear the "ready to be written" window and free
up the program - or perhaps better yet how to get rid of it altogether?

At the moment the only thing it's doing is annoying me. ~~~}B^{(~

You can Zip/compress the Registry Folder to fit the CD/DVD and use the
burning software for this, I'm not sure how good the FreeBie is?, but try to
download this tool which will cleanup for you, but please read the help file
with it to use it in the right direction!.
